Well, the rubber intercooler coupling that joins the x-over pipe to intercooler pipe split. this is my second set in a year. any suggestions on replacements? Something better than OEM, preferably.

 

Try looking on ebay. there's a million hard intake pipe kits.. I see an intercooler kit every now and again too.

 

for some reason I read that wrong. I'm sure you could use a silicon coupler, I believe what you'd need is a 2.5" but not for certain.



Another option: EFINI Y-Pipe and Crossover Pipe, Plus a silicon coupler.

 

i bought a coupler from 7store for a decent price and it got to my house lickety split

 

qucik fix, homedepot fremco 2" rubber fitting, will not break, but doesnt look best.



honest fix, samco fittings 2.25" im still looking for a cheap way to make my ic piping work without going oem or the EXPENSIVE greddy kit.

 

cool, thanks folks!

 

i found this link for silicone couplers, so i don't have to give the 7store my business..

Just a thought.



When mine split I went to the auto parts store. Got some braided steel reinforced Gates radiator hose. $1.25/ per inch.



Fairly inexpensive and works GREAT!!!!

I'm not exactly sure to what you are referring? Gates makes braided steel hosing? and you got this at a normal parts store? In 2.5"?? Never seen anything like that! Info!

 

Yep,



I needed the one that came out of the upper turbo to that plastic pipe that goes into the inter cooler. I replaced it at both ends. I BELIEVE it was 2.75" Inside Diameter. I works really good. Medina Auto Parts Medina Ohio.



Just find a parts store that carries Gates products. Same guys that make the belts.
